UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA YEAR PLAN 2012/13


3/12

IntroductionBackgroundUniversity of Malaya Medical Society(UM MedSoc) was established in 19XX. For us medicalstudents from the oldest medical school of our nation, UM MedSoc served as the body to bond,represent, function and contribute to society as a single entity. Racial barriers were breached,lifelong ties and memories were built upon this foundation. In maintaining the prestige of ourbeloved historical med school since its establishment, generations of students have strived to notonly organize events but also to initiate community outreach programs. Directed at the two mainobjectives of building competent doctors & also altruistic Malaysian citizens of the future, MedSocnow runs activities and events both within and beyond university grounds. MedSoc activelyinvolves and seek more sustainable cooperation and support from the corporate world and non-

profit based organizations.

Presidents Note

It is my greatest pleasure and honor to be given this opportunity of leading MedSoc. My team and Iwill strive to make full use of this term and responsibility shouldered upon us. It comes at animportant time where it has been much raised that Malaysian students are mere book-hugging

nerds even through tertiary education and is of no competition or much value to employers orsociety. As a university student myself, student bodies such as MedSoc serves an utmost importanttask and duty to rectify this. We want to and need to send the message out that, we are to be a partof society in no time and we are both ready and capable to contribute. Therefore, the direction forthe MedSoc team this year is to wage war against racial segregation amongst the fraternity, to forgecloser bonding between seniors and juniors and most importantly to have us reach out more to thecommunity to better serve and contribute in the ways we can. With the amazing and enthusiasticteam I am a part of, I have faith that we will be on that path in no time.
